Size of the file: 48641 MB
Ken Wilber has spent the last 35 years developing an Integral “theory of everything” that explains how all of the world’s knowledge systems—East and West; ancient, contemporary, and postmodern—fit together and may raise human consciousness. Integral Theory is a new paradigm for understanding ourselves and the world we live in, drawing on physics, psychology, human development, spirituality, religion, and dozens of other subjects.
There is now a means to not only think Integrally, but also live Integrally in your daily life.
Integral Existence Practice is more than simply a novel approach to self-development and higher consciousness; it is a way of making sense of – and making the most use of – the current treasure trove of insights, techniques, and practices for creating a more enlightened life. It provides a distinctively adaptable approach to awakened living that is appropriate for everyone: people with demanding professions and families, college students, retirees, and even serious athletes and yogis. It’s aimed towards devout—and irreverent—people of any faith or none!
Within a framework that incorporates all parts of your life, this highly adaptable approach will assist you in developing your physical health, spiritual awareness, emotional balance, cerebral clarity, relationship delight, and energy level. Integral Life Practice is the ultimate manual for attaining freedom, combining novel exercises, vivid examples, cutting-edge theory, and fascinating images.

“This intriguing and approachable book is the primary material for a new movement in post-metaphysics and life change, at once demanding and uplifting, delicate but aggressive. This book is the essential guide to living an enlightened life.” Author of Awaken the Giant Within and Unlimited Power, Anthony Robbins <p > “It was as if my life was allocated a new trajectory and course setting from deep inside the cockpit of my spirit the instant I began an Integral Life Practice. ‘Glory atop Glory’ has been the theme of my days since I began practicing. An ILP is a phenomenal growth driver in ways I could never have anticipated. Check it out for yourself!” —Eddie Kowalczyk, Live’s main singer-songwriter <p > “Integral Life Practice is a remarkable accomplishment. It invites any and all of us to think more thoroughly about how profound our acceptance of the life we live. It is comprehensive, detailed, and extremely reasonable. The integrated viewpoint bursts off every page of this personal transformation guidebook, clearly showing what it means to be totally alive!” —Andrew Cohen, spiritual teacher and EnlightenNext founder <p > “Integral Theory by Ken Wilber has provided a roadmap. Terry Patten, Adam Leonard, and Marco Morelli have now combined Integral Life Practice with a GPS (Global Practicing System). This book will be important to spiritual pilgrims.” —Brother David Steindl-Rast, Benedictine monk and creator of Gratefulness.org, author of Listening Heart: The Spirituality of Sacred Sensuousness and Gratefulness, The Heart of Prayer: An Approach to Life in Fullness. <p > “Once again, Ken Wilber and his collaborators have taken a large subject, consumed it full, including the kitchen sink, and then worked for years to grasp it, digest it, metabolize it, and finally convert it into plain writing and useful actions. What was the end result? Integral Life Practice is a really useful textbook for life. A wonderful resource for living a more calm, purposeful, intellectual, and joyful existence.” —Elizabeth Lesser, cofounder of Omega Institute and author of Broken Open: How Difficult Times Can Help Us Grow.
“Ken Wilber and the writers of this clearly written, rational, well-informed book are fellow explorers in the creation of integral transformational practices with George Leonard and me. Such activities emerge from a conceptual worldview that unites our desire for personal and societal development with both science and contemplative traditions. This book will help to promote this emerging vision and the disciplines required to realize it.” —Michael Murphy, cofounder of Esalen Institute and author of The Future of the Body and The Life We Are Given
“Integral Life Practice will assist you in laying a solid foundation from which to awaken to your transcendent essence or Big Mind. Western aspirants have long needed a universal practice handbook that relies appropriately on old traditions as well as current science and psychology. Now we have it—an invigorating, easy-to-follow guide to living a really harmonious, enlightened existence.” —Dennis Genpo Merzel, Zen Master and author of Big Mind, Big Heart: Finding Your Way
“Integral Life Practice is a masterwork of grounded, rational, self-transforming knowledge that integrates the lessons of all the major truth traditions.”
—Caroline Myss, Anatomy of the Spirit and Entering the Castle author p >
“This book brings Ken Wilber’s concepts to life. It explains how to implement Integral philosophy in everyday life by working with our body, mind, spirit, and deeper psychological components. Integral Life Practice provides a valuable map of one’s existential predicament that leads to the greatest realms of awareness.” p > —Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche “Integral Life Practice is a highly polished synthesis of some of the most effective and universal practices from the major wisdom traditions, presented in a framework that is both soaring and pragmatic. True to its namesake, it recognizes the human desire for totally balanced growth, depth as well as breadth, psychological as well as spiritual development, tenderness and hardness, ethics and risk-taking. Beautifully written and structured out in manageable chunks, the book is a true on-and-off-the-mat guide to 21st-century practice, emerging from that place inside us that stands in the best of tradition while riding the cutting edge.” —Swami Sally Kempton, The Heart of Meditation: Pathways to a Deeper Experience p > “Integral Live Practice moves the integral system from the thinking to actionable life action. Here is a fundamental Upaya treasure.” —Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, former Naropa University World Wisdom Chair p > “Integral Life Practice is a significant achievement. It provides a clear and easy-to-understand overview of the Integral thought-system without dumbing it down, which is no small task. Furthermore, it demonstrates how to live from this beautiful and inclusive worldview in an interesting and practical manner. Read this book if you desire a clear and simple road map to awakening.” —Bill Harris, Centerpointe Research Institute Director and Inventor of Holosync Meditation Technology p > “Here, we discover how to be freer and more totally authentic by smoothing out the peaks of higher consciousness growth into every nook and cranny of daily existence through integrated knowledge and practices. This is the integrated life’s secret: transcending while including, and being there while getting there every step of the way. Prepare to develop your mind, open your heart, and become aware of your own global Self.” —Lama Surya Das, founder of the Dzogchen Meditation Centers and author of Awakening the Buddha Within: Tibetan Wisdom for the Western Word “What if we could combine the finest of the world’s traditional contemplative traditions with modern psychological and somatic therapies to create a potent program for altering our lives? We may now, and Integral Life Practice is a pleasant outcome of that potential.” —Roger Walsh, MD, PhD, author of Essential Spirituality: The Seven Central Practices, University of California
